M3 Owners, what kind of bikes do you have?

immiketoo · 05-04-2009, 11:34 AM

I noticed that on another thread, may of us have similar taste in motorcycles, and I was surprised there were as many 2 wheel finatics.

So, here's me... Ducati 748 (Race bike) and a 2006 50th Anniversary R6. Just sold my Ducati 1098 last fall...

Anyone else?

Oakleyguy · 05-04-2009, 11:38 AM

I'm a two-wheeled fanatic as well, however mine are of a different breed.

A Tarmac and a heavily modified Stumpjumper

1MOREMOD · 05-04-2009, 11:39 AM

i have a R1 and a big dog ridgeback.

....and looking to purchase a Ducati 848 this year.

immiketoo, do you find that it's hard to carry when in full gear on your bike? My rear compartment can't store my XD9 (..off duty weapon), and my leathers are too tight.

Kahr PM40 goes everywhere I do. It fits everything I have including my Dainese jacket which fits like a second skin. You just have to be creative about carry options...

I hope this doesn't happen to me when I pickup my e90 in June. I enjoy carving up the turns too much on a bike. But if it does, I guess i'll just convert the bike to a full time track bike.

If we had road here like there are in North Carolina or Tennessee,my feelings would be very different about street riding.The other problem is that in Ontario we have a street racing law that is instant licence suspension and vehicle impound for anything over 31mph above the speed limit.One of my best rides used to be a 500 mile loop up to Algonquin Park that I used to do in 6-7 hours including a long lunch stop.Those days are long gone now.I can have as much fun on slower roads on a Motard.

Gearhead, It's interesting you said that...I feel exactly the same way. I started hanging out with the local Porsche club doing car track days, and I enjoy them so much more...go figure.

I have been doing car track days & racing since the mid 70's & only got into doing the bike days in 2002.Since then I have done over 65 days and organizing some really good days that many have enjoyed,my focus is back on cars once again.I stayed away from the cars on track for about 10 years but then one of my clients organized a day at Calabogie that I took my wifes GTI to and I had a hoot!.On my bike I have allways felt the need to hold back a bit for self preservation but once back in the car I felt that I could run at 100% and the feeling was great once again.I am much more able to extract the max out of both myself & car than I could on a bike.I am much more committed to going fast in a car than the bike.But I still enjoy riding in the right circumstances.

Akara1 · 05-04-2009, 01:04 PM

Currently I have 2 '06 Yamaha R1 LEs. Previous rides include MV F41000R Senna, Ducati Monster, Ducati 749R, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki ZX-10R and Yamaha R6.

MidwestBimmerFan · 05-04-2009, 01:07 PM

I have a BMW R1200GS and a motocross bike. I like playing in the dirt on 2 wheels.

Radiation Joe · 05-04-2009, 01:31 PM

I sold my last literbike in 1996. Does a Trek count?

I'm impressed with the number of Ducatis out there. The R1 in Yellow and Black is bad-ass. If I ever move back into my house in CA, a tricked out Monster is in the cards.

pittsy · 05-04-2009, 01:38 PM

I have a trek as well.

Are you on OCMOTO by any chance?

Yep, just as I thought...there's a bunch of studs on the forum. Well, except the pedal bike guys
